Description: Forty-five years later, we still remember our “friends” attack on the USS Liberty.
In the middle of the Six Day War, June 8th, 1967, the Liberty was sailing in international waters when Israel Mirages fighter jets attacked.
This is the lowest point in American-Israelis relations. An incident that has been somewhat “swept under the rug.”
Once again, the Western Museum of Flight (WMoF) brings you THE eye witness account: American Donald Pageler was a on the Liberty DURING the attack as a classified communications specialist. Don will give us the real story.
Five hours in American history. Thirty-four Americans killed, 171 injured and the Liberty badly maimed. Yet an event not widely known until recent years.
As always, WMoF Members are free; non-members are $5, which also includes access to WMoF museum exhibits. Free parking. BTW, a WMoF membership (wmof.com/newmem.htm) can be yours for as little as $50 annually giving you one-year unlimited FREE admission to the WMoF museum, all the Celebrity Series Lectures, Quarterly Newsletters, access to the research library and access to Special Events.
